Max file size/page count in LibO of OO Writer


Is there a recommended maximum file size or page count in Writer?

I have two songbooks (lyrics only), one Country and the other Gospel. As you can imagine, a considerable amount of time has gone into these. The Gospel book is pushing 400 pages (397, to be exact) and current file size is 200K. The Country book is smaller at 135K and 275 pages. Each book includes an alphabetical index in the event that would make any difference. Am I asking for unexpected problems/file corruption/whatever, or is there perhaps no recommended maximum size?

I should add that I am not currently experiencing any problems, but would just like to know if a risk exists or if there is a recommendation for avoiding any possible upcoming 'gotchas.'

The only real limit is your RAM:

From my experience it is images and drawings that cause the most lag and RAM usage. As you do not seem to be using these, I doubt there will be any problems, and it should scale just fine.

Thanks to both metaschima and JohnVV. I had considered cutting them at least in half, but feel there is no real need after your replies.
